Joe Cauliflower (previously known as "Joe Will Never Be The Same") is a solved synth-pop song posted to WatZatSong by user Guglielm in 2013.
Background[edit | edit source]
On July 13th, 2013, the song was first uploaded to WatZatSong by user Guglielm,[1] before being reuploaded on August 19th, 2014 to add that the song was internally tagged as being created by "David Barron or Barren or Byron or Bearon". Guglielm also remembered that during the song's original radio broadcast on WFMU New Jersey, the artist was interviewed and spoke with the DJ.[2]
Discovery[edit | edit source]
On May 3rd, 2024, a WatZatSong user whose account has since been deleted linked to a YouTube channel called DavidBaronMusic, who may have created the song.[2]
On June 6th, 2024, DavidBaronMusic commented on a reupload of the song by user q, confirming that he created the song while he was a music student to be played on WFMU, and it was played as a favor by his friend and DJ Bill Berger.[3] He also confirmed that he created another one of Guglielm's lost songs, called "Ocean", that the song is called "Joe Cauliflower"[4] and that the song was recorded in 1986.[5]
He is currently waiting for his Tascam 244 tape deck to be repaired before posting the full song, as it is the only way his master cassette will be playable so it can be ripped and uploaded online.[6]
On September 15th, 2024, David Baron uploaded the full high-quality version of the song.[7]
Lyrics[edit | edit source]
| Presumed Lyrics |
| Well, the cauliflower rose to power
This is his final hour He ruled all the controls And he ruled the technical modes Then one day, a microphone fell on him Joe would never be the same But the cords got together and they fixed ol’ Joe up Now he’s bigger and stronger now And he knows that he’s cauliflower, Joe And he knows that he’s cauliflower Joe And he knows, that he knows, that he knows And he knows that he’s cauliflower Joe |
